leroy carr – big four blues lyrics

big four blowed this morning : at the break of day
and it sounds so lonesome : because it taken my baby away

big four big four : won’t you please turn your train
around
because here i sit all down and out : with my head hung
down

i tried to be as good to that woman : as one man could be
and i mean it’s a shame : the way she went and left poor
me

yes i’m down and out : ain’t got no money to ride no
train
but i’m going to find my good gal : and bring her back
home again

please mr brakeman : won’t you let a poor man ride your
blinds
i’m just trying to make it : back to that gal who is
worrying my mind
